The choice between total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (STT) can affect postoperative complications and long-term outcomes in these patients. This study aimed to investigate postoperative complications and long-term outcomes in patients who underwent TT and STT. This retrospective study investigated 1.022 patients who admitted to Ghaem and Razavi hospitals, Mashhad, and underwent thyroidectomy between 2011 and 2017. Data related to postoperative complications, recurrence rate and overall survival were collected and analyzed. The data collection tool used in this research was a checklist. In this study, women accounted for 863 and men for 159 of the total population. The highest number of thyroidectomy surgeries was found in 2013 and in all years the majority of thyroidectomy surgeries were performed on women. The results demonstrated that 71.2% of the patients underwent TT and 28.8% underwent STT. The percentage rate of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury after thyroidectomy surgery (regardless of the type of selected surgery) was 6.1%, affecting 62 individuals. No significant relationship was observed between the type of selected surgery and damage to this nerve (P > 0.05). In addition, a statistically significant correlation was reported between thyroidectomy and suffering from hypocalcemia (P < 0.05). The study revealed that TT was associated with a higher postoperative complication rate compared to STT. Individual treatment plans must be developed based on the risks and benefits of each surgical approach.

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze available evidence on efficacy and safety of sugammadex in reversing neuromuscular blockades in patients with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of its potential benefits and risks in this specific patient population.
Methods: We performed a systematic search for studies from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Sources were screened using Rayyan, following predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria focusing on English articles published from 2010 to 2024 on MG patients under general anesthesia.

Perioperative management of antithrombotic agents may affect bleeding and lead to thromboembolic complications, but there is no consensus on optimal protocol in head and neck surgery. To explore the effect of antithrombotic agents on postoperative bleeding. We compared clinical characteristics, type of surgery, antithrombotic agents, continued use of medication or not, and frequency of postoperative bleeding among patients who were receiving antithrombotic therapy at the time of their decision to undergo surgery for head and neck malignancies, from 2008 to 2022.

Objectives: To describe detailed surgical techniques for totally stapled intracorporeal anastomosis (TSIA) and determine their feasibility and safety by comparing short-term outcomes with those of conventional totally stapled extracorporeal anastomosis (TSEA).
Methods: In total, 59 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic colectomy between June 2018 and August 2021 were retrospectively assessed. Linear staplers were used for all anastomoses.

Objectives: To clarify the risk factors affecting prognosis after primary tumor resection (PTR) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastasis (mCRC-SPM).
Methods: Patients were enrolled prospectively in the JSCCR project "Grading of Peritoneal Seeding in Colorectal Cancer." Factors that may influence overall survival-age, sex, location of the primary tumor, lymph node metastasis, presence of liver metastasis, degree of peritoneal metastasis, peritoneal cancer index (PCI), cancer cure, and postoperative chemotherapy-in the PTR group were examined using multivariate analysis.
